IRCT20210429051130N1 IRCT 2021-05-28 Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences The effect of electrical stimulation on tinnitus The evaluation of effects of electrical stimulation in treatment of patients with chronic tinnitus with normal hearing sensitivity 2021-05-22 anticipated 40 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/55952 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Random assignment of patients to intervention and control groups by lot. For this purpose, we prepare two sheets and write "Intervention 1" on one and "Intervention 2" on the other. Then, with each patient's visit, one of the sheets is randomly chosen and the patient is assigned to intervention group 1 or intervention 2. N/A Tinnitus. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients in the therapy group will apply the Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) radiation protocol at 2 mA for 20 minutes while the anode electrode will be applied to the left hemisphere cortex (T3) and the cathode electrode will be applied to the right hemisphere cortex (T4). The placement location of the current electrode will be determined using the 10-20 electrode electrode standard. 35 cm2 square carbon electrodes moistened with 0.9% saline solution will be used to create the desired conductivity to create the current. Irradiation will be performed by Oasis pro device once a day for 10 days. Intervention 2: Control group: In the sham tDCS (control) group, the electrode montage will the same as for the intervention group, but the device will be turned off after 30 seconds without the participant's knowledge. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All statistical files and questionnaires are accessible (names are coded) When: After publication to .....
